The Virginian: The Best Man (1970)
Season 9, Episode 2
7/10
Desi was entertaining as El Jefe
1 February 2024
This was a surprisingly decent episode, even if it did play like a sitcom. I had to force myself to ignore the "spaghetti Western-esque" music score by David Shire. I'm sure he was only doing as he was told.

I thought Desi Arnaz was remarkably good as El Jefe, although I wasn't sure if he was acting as if he was always a little drunk or actually was. Maybe that's a compliment. It's too bad he didn't do more Westerns or try other dramatic roles.

Susana Miranda plays a lovely young Teresa. Sadly, she only has 5 credits on IMDb.

The remaining supporting players all do decent jobs in their roles, doing the best they can with what they're given.
